The goal is to build an efficient white-black control deck. It should be able to get up to speed with some ramp, constantly have a full hand to chose from, some life gain to leverage rough times, lots of graveyard/activated abilities shenanigans and enough creature/permanent removal - either as spot removal or mass removal. The biggest question is if it can forego any sort of mass removal and solely rely on spot removal in the form of its creatures.

This is my first draft. Possible inclusions listed in the maybe-board. The biggest question was whether to include token generators or not. Found it really difficult to do everything listed above and to include token generators. I'm already cutting mass removal and tutor effects to have more room for the graveyard recursion.

Also this deck already has way too many infinite combos. It's too easy to go infinite with graveyard recursion :
